cannot compile even a very basic application

[Kaspar Neuenschwander]

Hello I probably missed something, but I cannot compile even the simplest application (one button on a form). The compiler stops within Vcl.forms with error "unit libc not found". Please help.

[Eugene Kryukov]

Please explain more about your system, IDE version, platform, edition etc.

If you use trial edition, how compiler stops on Vcl.Forms ? There is any sources in trial edition.

[Kaspar Neuenschwander]

I use Delphi Enterprise Edition, Registered, Version 10.2, Update 1.

[Eugene Kryukov]

Do you use trial edition of CrossVcl ?

[Kaspar Neuenschwander]

Yes; I have the trial edition. I will uninstall and reinstall now.

[Kaspar Neuenschwander]

still the same error. Do I have to set some library paths?

[Eugene Kryukov]

No you don't. It looks like you already have VCL's source in your Library path. Try to remove it or check you Library patch. What target platform do try to use ?

[Kaspar Neuenschwander]

Target Platform is Linux 64 Bit. I just tried the same application with fmx linux; there it works. Here is my library path for Platform 64-bit linux:

$(BDSLIB)\$(Platform)\release;$(BDSUSERDIR)\Imports;$(BDS)\Imports;$(BDSCOMMONDIR)\Dcp\$(Platform);$(BDS)\include;$(BDS)\redist\$(Platform);$(BDSCOMMONDIR)\Bpl\$(Platform);$(BDSCatalogRepository)\ICS_FMX-8.44-Tokyo\source\;$(BDSCatalogRepository)\ICS_FMX-8.44-Tokyo\source\Include

[Eugene Kryukov]

Can you check where is Vcl.Forms is located when you got an error. Also, maybe you have very old CrossVcl installation - try to remove Program Files (x86)\CrossVcl folder after unsinallaling and install again.

[Kaspar Neuenschwander]

Did that, now it works!

Thanks for your help. I'll certainly buy the official version!
